Benfica-Famalicao, the probable formations

Benfica and Famalicao will open the 18th day of Liga Portugal. Kickoff at 9:15 p.m. at the Estadio Da Luz. The hosts are called upon to regain the three points in the league after two consecutive knockouts against Sporting Lisbon and Sporting Braga.

Lage is expected to deploy Pavlidis as the lone forward, with Di Maria, Aursnes and Schjeldrup as trequartists. In defense, protecting Trubin, will be Otamendi and Antonio Silva, with Araujo and Carreras as full-backs.

Oliveira, on the other hand, should bet on Aranda as center forward, with Gil Dias, Sa and Sorriso acting a few meters further back. In the middle of the field, trust Van de Looi and Topic.
